I have a date for plastics!

I am officially scheduled for a tummy tuck with Dr. Sawan!  I am so excited!  I will get my new flat tummy on Dec. 12.  Debtfree has paved the way for me.  I have big shoes to follow in terms of how well she has healed and returned to activities.

I will post as I recover!  Happy dance over here at my house!

Congratulations, hope everything goes well for you.  You will be in great hands with Dr. Sawan and everybody at Summit Medical are the GREATEST!!!    Won't kid you,  there is pain involved but it wasn't near as bad as I expected, so you'll do great.  Don't forget the LORTAB.   So enjoy your dance, I know how you feel.

Russell ---don't forget to tell her about the colace with the loratabs!!  LOL 

You went first on the sleeve and paved the way for me so just returning the favor! ha ha!!  You are going to do great. You are so educated about the process and everything involved.  Before you know it this will be in your rear view mirror.  If I could tell you one thing (besides taking colace with loratabs) it would be to start doing some squats now to strengthen the legs because that one exercise really did help me to get up and down out of chairs without having to use any kind of lift chair or anything.

I knew about the Colace!  =)  Now, it wouldnt' have occured to me to do squats so I could use my leg muscles to get up and down more easily.  Hmm, gotta go get busy doing squats!

I'm so excited for you, please let us know how it goes? I am speaking with a surgeon about having it done in maybe march or april. I am training for a 1/2 marathon so I want to wait until that is over before I do it. I'm sure you will do great. God Bless and take care. Check me out on facebook if you want. Just google Christy Castro. I would love to chat with ya sometimes.

 

I had Gastric bypass on 12/29/08.  I went to a consultation for a breast lift and tummy tuck today, Im so disappointed, there is no way I can afford this. 
Has anyone had any success with insurance assisting with the procedures?  If so please let me know.

Good Luck!
I love the results from my TT & Braco & breast reduction...now if I could win the lotto so I can get my thighs done!

I know once I have a nice flat tummy I am going to hate my thighs even more than I do now.  <>  Unfortunately, there is no way I can afford to to the rest of the plastics I want.  I would love to get my arms and thighs done.  Then, maybe a pair of perky boobs to go with the rest!  lol

I did get my insurance to pay for the panni part of my tummy tuck.  I am paying the "upcharge" for the rest of the tummy tuck (the muscle work.)  This is the only way I could have gotten this procedure.

2 weeks from tomorrow I will be getting ready to check in at the hospital!  Happy dance!
